First time here today. We went for lunch, was seated quick, there was only a few people there. Once seated we looked over the menu. Pretty decent selection, fajitas, combo platters, tacos etc. We had 2 combo platters, both burritos and enchiladas. I had shredded chicken burrito, and ground beef enchilada the plate came with rice and beans. The time to get food was quick. The food was delicious, server was friendly, and the overall price was good for 2 people. Would definitely recommend. read more

Agave Cantina in Summerville was very good. This time we did takeout delivery, but I've also been there in person before. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and the prices are very reasonable. My main complaint is actually with the seating. They use those car-style bucket chairs, and they're just not comfortable--my butt kind of hangs off, which makes it hard to fully enjoy sitting there for a meal. That said, the food is definitely the highlight and keeps me coming back. I also believe they have an outdoor seating area, which is a nice option if you want to bring your dog and eat outside. read more

My husband & I love Mexican food. After trying many places, we now size up a Mexican restaurant by the following two criteria: do they offer complimentary chips & salsa, & do they have an IPA on draft? Agaves does both && they have nicely shaded outdoor seating! Honestly, this place hit all of the marks for us, & the food was tasty to boot! We went on a Saturday night & were seated outside at a table with an umbrella right away. The beers were cold, the atmosphere lively & kid-friendly, & we will definitely be back. read more

Stopped in here today with the kids. A 15 minute wait but that's normal for Summerville on a Friday night. I had street tacos which were well filled and tasted fine. My daughter had chimichangas and my son had a quesadilla. Price was pretty standard, food came out fast, and service was friendly. Nothing really jumped off the page as mind bendingly amazing or different from other Mexican restaurants in the area, but it was good food with generous portions at a fair price. J.Ja read more

I have to give this place a 1. They cannot make mole enchiladas or red rice. And they botched up a Guadalajara burrito. The enchiladas required more mole sauce and should not have cheese on them and the burrito needed an extra tortilla shell to hold up. There is a reason why the place doesnt have mexican customers like me coming in. Your food is terrible. Jalapenos and La Hacienda mexican restaurants are better. We wont be returning. You cannot cook mexican food worth a damn. read more

We ate at the cantina near the corner of Dorchester and Ladson Road. Had the molcajete, which is enough food for 2 or more, ate half and took the other half home. It comes with two sides of rice and two sides of beans and choice of tortillas. The food was great as was the service. Would order the same again. read more

I've been here twice. I love the chicken street tacos. They're delicious. We have had great service both times as well. On our second visit, my husband had a hair in his food so he was not happy. The outside seating is really nice. I especially love sitting by the fountain. Great addition to the Summerville/Ladson area. read more

Everything was incredible! From the decor to the service to the food! Such a fun vibe when you enter with all the welcoming agave plants out front and a fountain to boot. The servers are attentive and efficient. The margarita was deliciously hand-crafted. The chips were warm & not over-salted. The ingredients tasted fresh. The steak came out sizzling and was yummy! read more

My new favorite Mexican restaurant! Agaves Cantina opened not long ago, and it's hitting the restaurant scene with a Bang! Great open floor plan with plenty of seating inside and out. It has a well appointed bar with seating inside and out. The outdoor space has a beautiful fountain, a place for a band and many options for seating. We were immediately greeted by the hostess who was very friendly and professional. The menu had many selections including vegetarian. The cocktail menu has a great variety of drinks, beer and wine. Complimentary chips and salsa were provided upon seating. I got a griiled fish taco topped with a Chipotle crema, and I got the portobello taco as well. The portobella mushrooms were grilled which added a really nice smoky flavor. Both tacos were yummy! My husband got the shrimp salad and a grilled fish taco. His salad was huge with plenty of grilled large shrimp. Our server was very nice and attentive. The restaurant atmosphere was relaxed with a rustic flair. We are definitely coming back. And if the weather is nice, we'll sit out in the patio area. read more

Had a great dinner at Agaves Cantina! Service was spot on and the food was fantastic! I had a Shrimp Salad and was so impressed by the size and amount of shrimp on the salad. They do not skimp and we loved it! The seating was nice and spread out so you can relax and not feel like you're up in your neighbors table. It was really a treat to finally find a place that had nonalcoholic beer selections as everyone doesn't drink! They even had a selection for vegetarians, something you don't often see. When it warms up some we're going to enjoy the ample outdoor seating and bar. We will definitely be checking this place out again.!!! read more

This place is awesome! The food was really really good and you get very large portions. I also really appreciated the staff - everyone was super kind and accommodating. Also, it's a really beautiful venue. There's an area where kids can get out their wiggles while you're waiting for food, there's a beautiful fountain and there's even a small garden area. I cannot give this place a higher recommendation. It was wonderful. read more

‼Do not eat here ‼ I don't usually write a review unless it's really bad !!! Or really good Believe me this was bad. The meat is pre-cooked and when you place an order, it simply warmed up and serve to you. I order chicken taco and steak tacos, and the steak was so dry that it was literally crispy, no flavor no sauce was served with it, just sprinkle of onion and cilantro . My husband ordered , carne asada but it was so thin and dry same meat is not seasoned or have any flavour, you can tell someone is miserable cooking there . My husband said he never eat anything worse in his life Then he added, honey. Why are you punishing me? I said what do you mean , suggesting to go out for dinner tonight that was the worst.you can make better tacos than this. we laughed we were hungry and ate it most of it then definitely regretted. Anyway this will be the last time I ever chose Mexican food for dinner! Maybe there are better places than this but save yourself a heartburn and disappointment choose something different! read more

Agaves cantina Spicy cucumber margarita unusual and very tasty. Dos xx negros draft Warm tortilla chips and not spicy watery salsa Monika server useless doesn't know the menu and can't offer any suggestions after 3 months of serving Gave the wrong side and got tons of attitude said I should have told her different even after I told the manager. Carlos manager nice guy very helpful knowledgeable and helpful Very nicely set up indoors and outside decorated with Mexican music Ceviche shrimp Outstanding. Chopped shrimp, avocado cucumbers tomatoes cilantro lime. Appetizer that is a meal in itself. chile Colorado steak and spicy sauce Beef thinly sliced in a moderate spicy sauce. 4 out of ten for heat but 8 out of ten for flavor. Very tasty. But I ordered different sides. Spicy sauce was excellent. Carlos the manager brought out the side. Very cheat able. More of a keto meal but well worth the money and effort. A definite easy carnivore with simple carb sides choice. Plenty for carnivore eater to cheat with. If you want to cheat this is the place to do it. read more

This is a great addition to my local neighborhood spots. Plenty of seating outside and a large bar with four large flatscreen TVs for sports.. great service here as well. Decent drinks, but as far as the food, it's nothing special, southern Mexican type/Central American fare. Not a whole lot of flavor with the meats and the carne asada was dry and overcooked. However, the chips and salsa are decent, as well as the guacamole. read more

Service was great being attentive, quick, and friendly to which our gentleman brought plenty of chips and salsa to enjoy. Happy hour is from 4-6 to which there's $5 house wines, liquor, $1 off classic margaritas. Tried the mango grande on ice, did not taste the tequila at all but at least it was refreshing. My friends all enjoyed their meals plus took some to-go for family members. Interior is wonderfully decorated and the outdoor seating is a'plenty! The bar has TVs so folks can watch games/sports. I got the pick-2 combo of enchilada and burrito. The refried beans and rice were my favorite! Next time I'll ask for more spice with hot sauce to kick it up a notch for flavor. read more

Agaves Cantina - Pick two combo with refried beans and rice - Mexican Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

My first impression wasn't great based on the exterior of the building, it looked a little "rough around the edges." As I approached I could see the expansive outdoor patio and the indoor outdoor bar and I felt the place had some nice attributes. I ordered the classic gringo tacos, a couple of hard shell beef and one soft shell chicken and they were good, not overly fancy but I enjoyed them, they came with lettuce and shredded cheese. I added a side of refried beans which were pretty standard, next time I'd likely skip those. The issue was with the fried chimichanga that my friend ordered. It was cut in half and placed on top of a sauce and became soggy to the point where the filling completely spilled out of one half of the chimichanga, it didn't look appealing, but I was told it tasted fine. I was disappointed in the presentation. We ate outdoors and were terrorized by bees that seemed to go from table to table harassing patrons. I literally was ready to go because the bee problem was an issue. I hope they spray tomorrow to prevent future patrons from being harassed by flying pests. Our server was nice and assisted with any needs that we had. I felt it was a place with potential and would consider returning at some point. read more

Heard about this place and wanted to check it out ! It was jammed pack you could barely find a park . There was a bit of a wait so we opted to sit at the bar to have a drink. The drinks are definitely strong for frozen margaritas which we loved !! The queso is really good as well. We did glance at the menu and the prices were pretty average ! Also happy hour is everyday from 4-7!! It's decorated nicely outside and inside with your typical Mexican flare. It's lots of room both inside and outside but on a Saturday night probably choose elsewhere cause it's super busy. read more

We tried this on a beautiful summer day. This restaurant was recently renovated from an old Asian Buffett. They did a beautiful job and the location is perfect. Lots of outdoor seating. We enjoyed the comfortable weather while eating our delicious food. Waiter told us they are looking for a band that they hope will play on the weekends. It definitely has the potential to be a great party place. Lunch menu was perfect portions. We enjoyed every bit of a vegetable bowl made with fresh vegetables. Chicken chimichanga had fresh guacamole salad. Will definitely eat here again. read more

We were out and about yesterday looking for a fun new restaurant to try out. Well we found a fantastic place called Agave Cantina on the corner of Dorchester Rd and Ladson Rd. When we pulled into the lot we noticed a stunning outdoor patio area with great seating. Walking inside they offer tables and booths. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. When we got our food we were so impressed.it was hot and delicious, our waitress was Maria and was a great addition to their staff. We will definitely be going back to this place again. read more

The new Agave Catina is an oasis in a sea of shopping centers. They have utterly transformed this location making it a beautiful and fun place to eat and hang out. They have created an outdoor patio space that will blow your mind! Large trees filled with lights provide a nice shady spot to escape the heat. There is a band stand for live music and a wonderful fountain bubbling in the very middle. We started with margaritas with me ordering the Texas margarita and my wife ordering the spicy pineapple margarita. Both were tasty and refreshing. The house made complementary chips were thick and crunchy and the salsa had just the right spice profile. We tried the Texas dip which had steak, chicken, and shrimp in a creamy cheese salsa which was loaded with tasty meat! Since we ordered large orders, we took this home and enjoyed it as a late-night snack! Definitely recommend! My wife ordered the Mucho Grande burrito which has steak with grilled mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes rolled in a big flour tortilla, topped with nacho cheese, ranchero sauce, lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole and tomatoes. It was loaded with steak and the spice on the meat gave added flavor. As for me I ordered the Agaves Fajita with Chicken, Steak, Shrimp, Pork, and Mexican Sausage. I have never seen this much meat in one fajita. All the meats had a great spice profile, and you can choose between corn or flower tortillas. I appreciated that they did not load you down with a lot of peppers and onions. I was able to make two meals out of it. Service was super friendly and fast, and you will not be drumming your fingers waiting for the food to arrive. Can't wait to watch this place grow! read more

This place opened recently, and we love it. The atmosphere is good. They have a large indoor and large outdoor area. The outdoor area is especially nice for families with kids because they can run around, safely climbing things and playing writhing Mom and Dad's view. The food was fantastic, and service was fast and pleasant. Here are pics of a server with 5 plates on one arm! These servers work hard! Give them a good tip! read more

First visit was ok. Second, food was maybe warm. Felt bad after the meal. Hard pass for me.

Great food and atmosphere. Edmundo bartender was knowledgeable and personable. But don't dare light up a cigarette anywhere!!

I went here for drinks and it was packed cars were even parked on the grass. Luckily, we found seats at the bar. We ordered drinks during happy hour (4-7), and the frozen strawberry margarita was really good. The food prices were a bit on the higher side, but the décor inside and outside is really nice definitely a good spot to grab some pics. read more

Wow! I was blown away by this spot. I had been to the Mount Pleasant location and was not impressed. This one, however, was great.

This spot is popping! read more

Went back and it was a completely different experience. The choriqueso was full of grease and the brought out the wrong torta to me.

This is hands down, our new favorite Mexican place in the tricounty area. The food was delicious. My husband got the sope and a street taco, my children ordered from the kids menu, and I got the chimichanga. I get chimichangas at every Mexican place because it's my favorite. But this restaurant made all the other chimichangas very poor in comparison. The flavor was so delicious! My husband also commented that the sope was what he's been looking for. read more

If you haven't tried Agaves Cantina at the corner of Ladson rd and Dorchester road, you really need to give it a go. It's the best Mexican I've found in the area and there is no charge for chips and dip. I had street tacos al pastor and my wife had fried chimichangas! Everything was excellent and the margaritas were excellent! Prices are reasonable! read more

The food is very good--especially the carne asada and the guacamole. I can't say the same for the tres leches. It was very dry and had a somewhat bitter taste. I tried it twice, just in case the first time had been an exception, but it really isn't good. read more

Ambiance started Out great until 5 kids started playing tag and hollering on the platform area near us. After a long week not what I was looking for at dinner time. Parents didn't over see them. Waitress was ok. Drink orders not correct. Food was just ok, under seasoned and not very hot. read more

The atmosphere here is so nice & the servers & other workers were so kind & accommodating! Went here for a lunch outing with a group of friends & everything we got tasted so good. From the complimentary chips & salsa (YUM), to the texas queso (forgive me if this isn't what it's called but it was a large portion of queso with shrimp, steak, and chicken), to all of our entrees.. everything was amazing and any special requests we made were handled and served perfectly. I had the texas fajitas & they were delicious! Not to mention their tequila sunrises were so good and definitely not lacking on the tequila. Will definitely be returning! read more

Agaves Cantina - Greasy disgusting chicken quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

It finally opened!! We've lived here 2 years and it's been under construction all this time. First time in this brand new Mexican eatery. The place stands out as soon as you pull into the parking lot.... It's not your average restaurant. The decor outside is very well done, with giant agaves (faux), lots of outside seating, a waterfall and even garage doors that open to bar area inside. The outside lighting is really nice as well. Inside is really nicely decorated giving a great Mexican atmosphere. The bar is massive! The whole place was just beautifully done. Sorry, didn't take any pics. There was no wait, but it was only 4pm. I've seen the parking lot full several other times while driving by. The food was great. My husband got the combo (a deal for $14), he chose a burrito and quesadilla, with rice and beans, and thought it was all very good with the exception the rice was rather dry. Mind you he's not a Mexican food fan, so for him to say it was good says a lot. I had the quesadilla rellena, loaded with chicken, a small guacamole salad that included sour cream, and refried beans. All good. Service was good, they seemed to have plenty of help that was friendly and attentive. We'll be going back for sure, and try the margaritas next time. read more
